Contributing Dorks

Zack Kotzer

This hopeless weirdo is a bit of a culture addict, given an NES and Bubble Bobble at a young age all going downhill from there. Zack is the assistant editor of Canadian culture mag, Steel Bananas as well as a contributing writer to the SPACE Channel, Newsarama and Torontoist. Zack is also working on a new safe haven for nerds called Giygas, though a word of warning, if you ask him about it, he will tell with gusto. Email - zack@dorkshelf.com


Shelagh Rowan-Legg

This is where the author's biography goes. They haven't written one yet, so for now this space will remain full of these inane and pointless words. Still reading? Really? Wow.


Joel Minty

I'm a huge supporter of myself and the things I do. I also like grammar and language mumbo-jumbo, video games, rock tunes, fantasy novels and Futurama. Since it's Dork Shelf, I guess I gotta post something to PROVE MY DORK CRED: At the time of this bio write up, I was sitting 4th out of 66488 trivia junkies on the fb Futurama fan page. I'm a Greater God at 72460 points, (27540 points till next level) Dork!

Thomas Drance

Thomas Drance is a Toronto-based communications professional and freelance writer. He's a hockey-stats dork who enjoys pretending to be a mysterious retired Russian hockey player on Twitter. At Dork Shelf he reviews television, video games and films on a rather infrequent basis. In real life he sings tenor, and is a passionate consumer of hot-sauce.

Sasha James

Sasha James is a girl about town (but not in that prostitute kind of way) in Toronto. She writes film reviews on DorkShelf.com and on her website, The Final Girl Project, whenever she can spare a moment between live-tweeting whatever is on television. Sasha also participates in two podcasts: Some Cast It Hot, a girls-only film podcast, and PANICMOON, a Doctor Who podcast. She's the one that says "like" too much.


Ian MacIntyre

This is where the author's biography goes. They haven't written one yet, so for now this space will remain full of these inane and pointless words. Still reading? Really? Wow.


Brian Crosby

Brian has written for television shows This Hour Has 22 Minutes and The Royal Canadian Air Farce. He’s a big fan of Pixar movies and was personally slighted by Cars. Read his pretty funny blog Brinews.net.


Matt Demers

Corey Atad

Corey is a Toronto-based writer who enjoys such wonderful activities as procrastinating and sleeping. When he's not doing those things (and sometimes even when he is) he fills his time with as many movies and TV shows as possible. He's also got his own personal blog with a cheesy pun for a title: justAtad.


James Farrington

James is a writer/poet/critic with a passion for (and possibly an obsession with) video games. As much as he loves discussing the joys of playing games, James is also interested in exploring gaming as an art form that is influenced by (and simultaneously influences) dominant cultural norms. Beyond video games and writing James spends his time watching films and cheesy sci-fi television shows. James writes articles and game reviews for Dork Shelf and Extremegamer.ca.


Rajiv Joshi

Recently moved back to Toronto after a year in the United Kingdom, Rajiv is once again and ready to attack anything “fan boy” related. Current weakness: Monopoly iPhone app set to highest difficulty with the “auction” function turned on. Not for the faint of heart fellow lads and ladies..."
